Hey all

I recently purchased a Power Fc for my r33 gtst just wondering where the best place in adelaide to take it to for a good tune would be. I tryed doing a search but nothing came up. I have heard from some the shaun from boost works is pretty good in this area. Has anyone had him do a tune with a power fc from here? Also roughly how much am i looking at for a decent tune im thinking bout $500-600 is this around the rite price?

cheers Allan :mad:

see above

Best bet would be to ask Shaun....Depends what u what sort of tune u want. A quick one with checking just the afrs is cheaper than a full tune...

haha now i dont know what to do because the people i was deciding between was donnon and shaun and both have been recommended lol. How much does donnon charge for a full power fc tune? and slimjim are you very happy with the tune? that seems like a pretty good price

cheers

I had my FC fully retuned by Shaun about a year ago! cost me just under the $400 mark, and that was a solid $200 cheaper than anywhere else i rang! I have since had 4 other close friends take their car there, and are also very happy with his work and price! TOP BLOKE very down to earth, and his dyno doesn't read 20-50kw higher just to keep the customer happy....... cough cough!

If you'd like change from your $500-600 go to Boostworx & if your not entirely happy with the tune & don't have a datalogit take it back. Shaun is more than willing to give it a blast around the block to fine tune it some more :kiss:. Like many others here there's nothing but, praise for Shaun & Troy's work.

I just had a full tune done there for PowerFC and the boost control kit, cost $440.
Not saying you'll get the same quote, but when I had the initial full tune w/ bigger injectors, upgraded AFM, fuel reg & re-do hi-lo boost settings it was around the same mark. Know for a fact another respected workshop, which I also go to charges quite a bit more to add extra boost settings & play around with fuel pressure etc.

well donnon has the full program i think on laptop all the data logic stuff

so being a quicker tune ie less time on dyno it should be cheaper but i think thet charge more for it lol

its by choice i think ive heard all good from both boostworx and donnon

33 GTST i think either tuner but if it was a GTR then donnon all the way

id much prefer a tune done with the logic programme such a more refined tune i had mine done and been sweet for 4 yrs

i think there is a better chance of a good tune done this way then sitting there all day punching in numbers in the hand controller

Cost ? well u get what u pay for i think any skyline owner has realised this by now

both are as much as each other i think just personal preferance

shaun has a datalogit. There is no difference in tune with either.

Quick tunes to check the afrs are fine if u are planning more mods down the track...

Yeah im after a full tune i dont think i want to spend any more on performance mods i just want to get my car running how it should with the HKS 2535 in it at the moment its just in R&R all the time so it should hopefully make a huge difference when the fc is in. Well i mite have to ring shaun havnt heard anything but good about him, his work and his prices :) Not sure if its been posted already but can some one please pm me or maybe post the boostworks number cheers

I took a freinds advice and thought i would try Martin.

my car looks identical to Martins r33 sedan.

He charged me $400 and said it was all good.

turns out i had lost 48 kws over my previous tune at hitek.

He blamed the fuel i was running, so he removed 5 degrees of ignition.

final result my car was 2 rwkws less then Martins car...

using the same BP98 i went back to hitek and payed $200 to get the power back

Go to shaun or John..

John has a newer dyno + the way its strapped on.

Shaun is a better tuner... and cheaper...

you decide

Ps. My freind that raved about martin also had his race car tuned the same day.

made 400 kws at the wheels wow...

grenaded 200 klm's later.....

its your call..

Yeah I've been driving with this tune for just over 2 weeks now, in real hot and cool weather too. It seems fine, and I know its a safe conservative tune too!

You won't be disappointed, and if you are, like its knocking etc, Shaun told me you can just pop in and he will fix the tune for you no worries. Too easy!

Sorry people, cause these figures are about 1yr old or 2yr.

Tilbrooks tune of power fc was $300 with Martin and Mick Stanic tune {2yrold} 299rwk

Manta racing {Steve takes it to willall, Peter Hall tune} $350 {1yr old} 292rwk better map

safer mixture{afr} with Peter Hall Tune for R32GTR

    • Ok i will get those 310mm. I found one but on a different site. This is the description on those...is it ok? Technical parameters: - Axle: front. - Disc type: ventilated. - Number of holes: 5. - Disc diameter: 310mm. - Total height with center: 54mm. - Thickness (new/min.): 30/28mm. - Designed for brake calipers manufacturer: Sumitomo.
    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
